​Narrated By A Fellow Initiate, Hang Zhou, Mainland China Recorded By A Resident Disciple in Hsihu, Formosa, News #39

A would-be initiate in Hang Zhou, after viewing three of Master's videotapes, has had numerous spiritual experiences. Very intrigued, he went to a fellow sister's house to borrow dozens of Master's videotapes, books and photographs. He also told the fellow sister about the story of his search for the Truth.

He had become a devotee of a master in Shanghai and followed him practicing the so-called highest method. This master was esteemed as one of the ten most famous monks in China. Previously, he practiced in the Esoteric Sect, the Zen Sect and the Pureland Sect. After knowing about Master, he realized the method that Master imparts is truly the supreme. He also noted that it was stated in the Surangama Sutra that the Quan Yin Method is the highest.

To confirm his judgement, he consulted the master to whom he had devoted. His master said to him, "It is sufficient to practice one method at home. Why do you need so many methods?' He replied, "I also want to become a Buddha. You have practiced various methods, so now I wish to do some research, too." His master said, "Ah! The Quan Yin Method is good of course! Go ahead if you want to practice It! However, do not abuse any magical power!" He was very happy after hearing that. This master had even given him a blessed word, using a brush to write the Chinese character 'blessing'. It was given to him after being blessed. He also knew that many people failed to get this character from his master. They knew that his master had a certain kind of power.

His master told him, "Place this word on your Buddha altar. It will duly respond if anything happens! If the method you practice, or the scriptures that you read do not belong to the true path, it will respond accordingly" After putting this word 'blessing' on the altar, it was truly effective! He likes to study all kinds of books. He did bring the book of another "super human" Buddhist very famous Chinese-American master to the altar. The book fell on the first try. He picked it up, but it fell on the ground again. He was puzzled after the book fell twice, and decided not to read it. He didn't even dare keep the book.

Since this word 'blessing' worked so well, he then used Master's books for a trial. He brought Master's book and stepped into the altar room. The book did not fall. He went inside and put Master's book on the altar table and turned to the first page. Upon opening the book, that word 'blessing', the one that his master had written for him, immediately drifted down and stuck to the book of Master Ching Hai! He was so emotional, and proclaimed, "This must be the supreme, this is definitely the highest. Therefore, it can't be wrong."
